Meanwhile, just 28% of voters agree with Biden’s decision to seek another term in the White House. For those who disagree, more than eight in ten cited his age as a disqualifying factor.
Democrats are virtually split on whether they think Biden should proceed with his campaign. 45% believe he should not be the party’s nominee. However, 55% expressed support for the president continuing on towards another term in office.
Where does Biden go from here?
Between now and November, the president will truly have his work cut out for him. Biden will need to not only regain the confidence of his own base, but also that of Independents, swing voters, and potentially disaffected Republicans who could be willing to cast ballots for him.
The president’s allies throughout the Democratic establishment are ultimately coming to his defense. Many have argued that Biden had a bad debate night, but a good term in office.
Americans’ views on this will inherently differ, depending on their political leanings; however, last week’s debate makes it clear Joe Biden now needs to put in the work to convince Americans that he’s up for another term.
